Wikipedia

On 1 May 2009, for only God knows why, Christian Weston Chandler registered on Wikipedia as ChrisChanSonichu. He created a user page that is to record one of the most in depth autobiographical accounts of his life. A user page is not an article, but this is still a flagrant violation of Wikipedia policy. Chris's user page was deleted by a Wikipedia admin believing it to be the work of a troll. Sadly, as the details show, this is the real Chris, all too real...

The other thing Chris did was add his name to the article on high-functioning autism, under the list of "famous individuals that may have had many different variations of autism along with HFA."

To date, the "Christian Weston Chandler" article on Wikipedia has been created by trolls 3 times and deleted each time: February 15, March 26, April 28.

May 2009 drama

In a video on May 3, Chris makes a case for his worthiness and rallies his true and honest fans to restore his biography. He also posted the following on his Wikipedia discussion page:

Dear Sir/Madam, LOOK, I do not have the appropriate calm state of mind to make time to READ those numerous upon numerous small-print details, much less memorize them. I have had a LOT of SLANDEROUS TWISTS OF MY OWN WORDS done unto me in the past SOO MUCH, it is HARDEST for me to get a job in a place that does background checks, only to find that cursed E.D. Page those EVIL TROLLS created against me at the TOP of the list. I started my OWN Wikipedia page to hopefully counter that and better the people's General Understand of the Noble Gentleman I truly am. I SPENT HOURS, recalling MEMORY after MEMORY to type up the HONEST-TO-GOD TRUTH. I DO NOT CARE about the erroneous listings or false information listed on other pages; I ONLY WISH TO TELL THE TRUTH AND SPREAD IT ON THE INTERNET. Plus, I have Vanessa Anne Hudgens as an honest, very close Gal-Pal, and you know very well how powerful she is as a STAR. I have created a video on YouTube respectfully asking to leave my Wikipedia ALONE with MY HONEST TRUTH from MY OWN High-Functioning Autistic Head; my LOYAL FANBASE will be sending you letters. UNDO YOUR DELETION, PLEASE. --Christian Weston Chandler (talk) 01:25, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

In short, Chris doesn't give a shit about contributing to Wikipedia, only wanting free PR.

March 2008 confusion with ED

Wiki Edit Lock Help from Chris to info-en-q@wikimedia.org on Wed, 19 Mar 2008 5:13:38 PM Sir, or madam, my name is Christian Weston Chandler (aka Chris Chan). There is a page on Encyclopedia Dramatica which has been dragging my name, as well as a very close gal-pal of mine, through the mud. I have been trying to get the people responsible to take the whole page down and leave it blank, but obviously failed. Today, I've tried to take the matter into my own hands by searching for the code for the "Edit Lock", so I can delete everything on the page and Lock it from anyone ever replacing the degrading information onto it again. I've found your Mediawiki Software, but I am askew with confusion on how to even install the program and all that (the unrecognizable .tar extension didn't help much either). Please help me in deleting everything on the page, and putting a Edit Lock onto it. Thank you, and have a good day. Christian Wetston Chandler.
